About This Item
Unpaginated artist's book, [ca. 104 pp.], illustrated throughout. 12mo. Triple signed and inscribed on the title page : "Dear Now Tina, Happy Birthday, New York City 1978, Lawrence" ; "One I Missed! Tina 5/26/78" ; "One of our acts, SH [Suzanne Harris]".) [1282]
With elements similar to Hard Light, Weiner's photographic book work with Ed Ruscha, Pertaining to a Structure pairs photos by Daniel Buren of "the players" (Madeleine Burnside, Steve Blutter, Norman Fisher, Suzanne Harris, Robert Stearns, and Ann-Sargent Wooster) with enigmatic texts by Weiner. The book is dedicated to the memory of Norman Fisher, who had died early that year of cancer. This exemplar is inscribed by Weiner to Tina Girouard (1946 – 2020) an important feminist artist and early founding participant of 112 Greene St., FOOD, the Clocktower and PS1, Creative Time, Performance Art and the Fabric Workshop. Girouard has also annotated the work's title page, regretting that she "missed" the action documented by Buren and Weiner. Artist Suzanne Harris has also signed the title page, making it an intimate and rare artefact of the 112 Workshop circle.
